know what I am realizing this time around that I never noticed before?? It's my MIND that needs the most work. Choosing not to drink is just the beginning. It's my way of thinking that also needs to change. I justified my drinking in anyway that I could, for so many long years, in any and all ways that I possibly could, it's become like a needle on a record. But half the battle now is being able to recognize that and change that "voice" in my mind to quiet it and make a wiser decision. It sounds like you are well on your way to that recognition yourself. Keep it up!!!
